If the seal of this gasket is broken, exhaust gases break through to the outside, accompanied by a characteristic sharp sound (the collector "cuts"). If the malfunction cannot be eliminated by tightening the catalytic converter mount, replace the gasket. Replacing the gasket is described in the process of removing and installing the catalytic converter (see "Removing, installing the exhaust manifold and replacing its gasket").
